The Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga are at an impasse that doesn't look like ending anytime soon, yet it's really only a specific contract detail that's preventing the two sides from agreeing on a new deal.
It doesn't seem that long ago that we were speaking about Kuminga getting $100+ million as if it were a fait accompli, but now the Warriors don't even want to guarantee a quarter of that to their young forward as a restricted free agent.
Warriors should budge in their Jonathan Kuminga contract negotiations
Golden State are reportedly offering a two-year, $45 million contract to Kuminga in current negotiations, but are adamant on that including a second year team option that would allow them to bail out early if things were to go sideways.
